When You Move In November, Your Holiday Pix Include Boxes & Paintbrushes

by Jill December 23, 2014

Guess what?! I got our cards out before Christmas this year!

Guess what else? I ordered them so long ago because they were supposed to go out before December.

When Minted offered to do our cards again this year, I was so excited, but then thought maybe I should do moving announcements instead. People were going to need to know our new address before they sent out cards.

The Minted team then pointed me to the perfect solution- holiday moving announcements! And I found the perfect one.

Amongst many boxes and paint cans, we pulled together a self-timed photo….

Whoops!

For me, happiness is largely dictated by lowering expectations at times like this, so YAY for the cards going out before Christmas!

I almost always do New Years or “happy holidays” cards. Way more wiggle room!

Thanks for some other informative blog. Moving is stressful for kids as well as adults, especially during the holidays. Explain to younger children that Santa will still find them at their new house.
